Jeffries v. State
89 Miss. 643; 42 So. 801
Jeffries v. State
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
. While we would not, for this only, in this case, reverse for the refusal to give the twelfth charge asked by appellant, still we think it should have been given.
It was reversible error to admit the testimony that John Jeffries took the assaulted girl to Tennessee to prevent her presence as a witness. The accused is not shown to have been privy to this, or even to have had any knowledge of it.
Reversed and remanded.
